Internal Storage - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

Help me please.
My phone is in a bootloop and twrp cant mount /data. I tried formatting and changing file system but it all failed. I cant flash rom in MiFlash and it says "flash xbl error" or "FAILED (File is too large to download)"

What did you do before the phone went into bootloop? Also did you format on TWRP via Wipe -> Format Data?

just format data and install rom through micro sd if your internal storage not working in twrp

Alright. Im not that experienced with edl. Can you send picture of Wipe -> Advanced Wipe that we can see all of the partitions? Maybe also if you can send pictures of every partitions details by ticking them and then going to "Repair or Change File System" and taking screenshots? Don't know if this is gonna help, but it's worth a try.

Try changing the filesystem of /data to ext4, and then back to f2fs, and then rebooting into TWRP. I've had this problem before, and that worked for me.

my device shows only 32GB after fastboot format

Hi
I formatted system, data and cache through adb.
After that my device shows only 32GB (of course it is a 64GB OP3).
Could someone tell me what is the reason of that? And how should I solve?
Thank you.

Someone had posted the same issue and here is the solution he shared:-
"I fixed it by flashing the stock recovery, and using the wipe everything command in that, which formatted it back to 53Gb."
Hope it works for you too. :fingers-crossed:
Reboot to recovery. Select Wipe > Format data. This will wipe youre entire phone.
I don't know if it works with stoc recovery. With custom works everytime.

Ok, I did this, but the size of the partitions has not changed - I still have 32GB.

Did you 100% sure formatted data and not wiped it?
I had the same issue and formatting (not wiping) worked perfectly

TWRP crashing on startup with blue led and buzzing

Well, I accidentally formatted my phone a few days ago, connected to pc and flashed los 14.1 and gapps.
Now it turns out whenever I hold down the power and volume buttons it takes me to the TWRP teamwin project screen, then freezes with a blue led and a buzzing noise without taking me to the installation screen
Any help/suggestions on what I should do as I still want to download a oreo custom rom later?
Thanks,
B50Corei5
I had that problem, fixed it by flashing the stock kernel (boot.IMG) through fastboot.
I had that problem, also reflashed full stock ROM via fastboot (systemchunk + boot + recovery + cache + userdata even preload in a second time)
Now I can't flash cust recovery, but I can boot in it.
I can flash, via recovery, a custom ROM but can't boot in it.
Any idea?
Same problem
I am having the same problem...I am on lineage os latest unofficial by wonder wicked witch...and whenever I clear data and cache by twrp their is a buzzing sound and blue led...pls help me

Take complete backup of your internal storage using file manager present in recovery mode. "Format data" or change" format system partition" of data partition. try couple of times to format if first time format not working.
Isn't there any other method by changing recovery? By flashing it again
Pls tell some other method

For internal storage backup:
Recovery - File manager method did not work?
Change system partition format of data partition to some other format and revert it to original. It works perfectly.
nothing is happening

I formatted data partition by using wipe->format data. U need to type "yes" to confirm, because entire internal sdcard will be deleted. So make sure u have rom and other zip files saved on external sdcard.
Then i used advanced wipe->repair/change filesystem and changed it to ext4 and then back to f2fs.
2nd time i installed los, i made sure not to set up a pin after 1st boot during rom setup, then tried to reboot into recovery, but ended up with black screnn + blue led. I tried to reinstall twrp via fastboot - no success. Then i formatted data partition via fastboot, which made me boot into recovery again.
I still dont get why and when blue led happens or encryption fails although ive never seen a "encryption failed" message. Only the blue led...
Thanks guys for the help, got it sorted by flashing stock ROM in fast boot ?

Maybe change data path to exe4?

In order to fix this, you have to do a data wipe via fastboot and then flash twrp again. If you are coming from stock rom, you need to change data partition to ext4 (by default it;s f2fs) and it should work fine. I think that f2fs has its advantages, but twrp does not seem to support it. Maybe on a future update

I cannot see storage ....

I am in TWRP I ADB sideloaded BenzoROM and cannot see it on the phone. I can get into BL and TWRP. Any ideas how to fix, flash, format internal storage, fix contexts, partition SD card or ADB BenzoROM?

Did you format data in twrp? If so: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.0.0-marlin.img
format data again should show the internal storage

YAY, success!!! Now, what if I want to go BenzoROM? Flash factory? All I am seeing in storage from the desktop is TWRP. I am suffering from PTSD with the issues I have been having.

Like seriously... This whole thread would have been prevented if OP would just read... Smh. Please delete all this guys post Mods..

Guys Please help. Unable To Mount... error. Tried everythng. Video given.

I have watched a lot of tutorials but nothing is working please someone help
I made a video of the problem and what I tried. Can anyone understand what happened
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaN-y-Worlg
Update: In Data i Changed the file system and went back to original. Didn't work.
I even wiped system. But i guess the only problem is to fix the "data". Since it shows 0 Mb size. But i can't find any way or guide. The ones i did find are too advanced and use cmd commands and toolkits which i don't think an inexperienced user like me should be following.
Some background information: i attempted to install Open gApps and enable Camera2 API. I Entered "read only" mode.
The adb shell commands for enabling it wasn't working (some "proprietary" something shown )
So I tried another method. I downloaded the latest Magisk and flashed it. Then i tried gApps. I don't remember when i started to think what went wrong but yeah..
I found this and I think it may be related.
But I don't understand it properly.
And its and Old post for some other Recovery

Why did you wipe internal storage? And what are you trying to mount. If you are trying to install a new rom all you need to wipe is cache, dalvik, system and data. Wiping internal storage removes everything from the internal SD card and if you do this then you have no OS.

At this point i can't care less about the data in internal storage. I just need to flash the official MIUI ROM back, enable Camera2 API and live in peace. At this moment I'm halfway through downloading the ROM but I'm not sure if i can flash it due to the Mount Issue of internal storage. I plan on transferring it to my micro SD card and flashing it from there to System Image. Will it work? And Internal Storage formatting failed in case you didn't notice. Practically nothing worked except the file system change of "data". And even that didn't fix the unable to Mount issue.

[B][/B] Failed to make backup folder with twrp

hello guys ,sorry for my english...i can't do a full backup to my miui rom with twrp , i get the message : " "Can not create '/data/media/0/TWRP' folder (Required key not available)." .see the attached picture ...any help please ?
Format data, then it'll work, or at least that worked for me. Just back your sdcard up through USB first.

is there any other solutions other than format data? i don't want to start from the beginning, reinstalling apps and mods
Hello, for those who face the same problem, for my case, just disable the screen password before making the backup
Nice find. That didn't work for me at the time but I've read it might've been the recovery I was using. Glad you got it going.

Use TWRP that support encrypted instead of these steps.

What do you mean? That their TWRP version is too old and doesn't support encrypted storage? It says "required key not available" so it mean it's recent enough to know about encryption so it's not sure that it's the issue.
